We have again been subjected to another FLOOD OF WATER in our store. We have used every effort, night and day, to keep tilings
dry. We have not been able to display our handsome stock of DRESS GOODS for over a week, having to stack them up in the rear of

HALL’S
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura
ble. For a great many years Doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con
stitutional disease, and therefore re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co’., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure now on
the market. It i s taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
ful. It acts directly upon the blood
and mucus surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circular and testimonials. Address
